Steven Johnson the Grocerant Guru® at
Tacoma, WA based Foodservice
Solutions®, is thrilled to share this news about Domino's, a restaurant company
that's setting a new standard in corporate philanthropy. Domino’s has pledged to raise a
staggering $300 million by 2034 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,
marking the largest financial commitment ever made to a children's hospital by
a corporation or private entity.
This announcement, made by Domino's CEO Russell Weiner at the
company's 2024 Worldwide Rally in Las Vegas, is a testament to the company's
dedication to making a difference. This commitment will ensure that families of
St. Jude patients can focus on their child's recovery, without worrying about
bills for treatment, travel, housing, or food.
Domino's "Hungry for More"
growth strategy is not just about expanding their business, but also about
creating more opportunities for their customers to contribute to St. Jude.
Since 2004, Domino's has enabled millions of customers to donate small amounts,
with this new pledge, Domino’s aims to raise the total amount raise to 300 million
by 2034.
This approach aligns with the
philosophy of St. Jude founder Danny Thomas, who believed in the power of many
people each giving a little. Dominos embodies this spirit through their
participation in the annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving® campaign and by
offering customers the option to round up their change to support St. Jude's
mission.
Richard C. Shadyac Jr., president and
CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude,
expressed immense gratitude for Domino's historic pledge. This commitment is a
significant step in Domino's longstanding partnership with St. Jude, helping to
advance research and treatment for childhood cancer and other life-threatening
diseases.
This pledge follows the opening of The
Domino's Village in September 2023, a six-story housing facility for patients
and their families, funded by Domino's as part of a 10-year, $100 million
commitment to St. Jude announced in 2020.
Gen Z and Millennials, known for their
commitment to social causes, are likely to appreciate Domino's efforts.
Companies that are doing good things, like Domino's, are attracting these
younger generations who value corporate social responsibility. Domino's is not
just delivering pizzas; they're delivering hope and making a real difference in
the world. This is a company that truly understands the power of
"dough-nation".
